Trademark Class 31 for Protecting Agricultural Products, Live Animals, Seeds & Fresh Produce Brands

If your business deals in agricultural products, live animals, or fresh produce, your brand must be registered under Trademark Class 31. This class covers a wide range of agricultural goods, including plants, seeds, fertilizers, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Whether you’re in the agriculture industry, dealing with seeds, fertilizers, or animal feed, securing your brand through trademark registration under Class 31 ensures exclusive rights and legal protection in the agricultural sector.

Let’s explore what’s covered under Trademark Class 31, what’s excluded, and how to register your trademark effectively.

Understanding Trademark Classification in India

In India, trademarks are governed by the Trade Marks Act, 1999, which allows businesses to protect their brand name, product identity, and visual assets under specific categories.

India follows the internationally recognized Nice Classification system, which divides all goods and services into 45 trademark classes—Classes 1 to 34 for goods and Classes 35 to 45 for services.

What Products Can You Trademark Under Class 31?

Trademark Class 31 specifically covers a variety of agricultural products, fresh produce, and unprocessed natural items. These are typically products that have not undergone significant processing or preservation and are often used directly in their natural state.

Here’s a detailed list of what’s included under Class 31

• Fresh fruits and vegetables – Apples, bananas, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, leafy greens, and other uncooked produce.
• Grains and seeds – Wheat, rice, corn, barley, oats, and seeds for planting.
• Live animals – Cattle, poultry, fish, horses, and other animals used in farming, agriculture, or as pets.
• Agricultural products – Fresh cut flowers, plants, shrubs, trees, and agricultural products like hay or straw.
• Animal feed – Food for livestock, pets, poultry, and fish, including dried food and natural feed options.
• Natural and unprocessed timber – Raw wood and lumber used in construction, furniture-making, or other industries.
• Live plants and flowers – Nursery plants, potted plants, flowers, and seeds for cultivating.
• Fresh herbs and spices – Basil, mint, coriander, thyme, and other herbs sold in their raw form.

These products are often sold directly to consumers through markets, suppliers, or agricultural producers, as well as to businesses in need of fresh, raw materials for processing.

What Is Not Included in Trademark Class 31?

While Trademark Class 31 covers raw agricultural goods and planting materials, several processed or finished products fall under different classes due to their form or purpose. Here’s what doesn’t belong in this class—and where they should be filed instead

• Processed food items like frozen vegetables, pickled fruits, or canned goods belong to the trademark class for food products and snacks (Class 29). Class 31 includes only unprocessed produce.
• Essential oils, herbal extracts, and plant-based preparations used in cosmetics or wellness fall under the trademark class for cosmetics and personal care (Class 3), as they are derived and not in raw form.
• Wood products such as plywood, flooring, or furniture are classified under the trademark class for building materials (Class 19) or furniture (Class 20), depending on usage.
• Processed animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs are included in the trademark class for food and beverages (Class 29), not in Class 31.
• Plant-based pharmaceutical items or herbal medicines are categorized under thetrademark class for pharmaceuticals (Class 5) due to their intended medicinal use.

Intellectual Properties You Should Trademark Under Class 31

If you are in the agricultural, horticultural, or livestock industry, registering your key brand assets under Class 31 is essential to build credibility, protect market share, and enable expansion.

Here’s what you should consider trademarking

• Company Name – Secure your legal entity name if it’s used on packaging or in marketing (e.g., “GreenRoots Agro Pvt. Ltd.”).
• Brand Name – Register product brand names like “FarmPure Seeds” or “GrowEase Feed” to distinguish your offerings in competitive markets.
• Product Line or Series – Protect names such as “Harvest Gold Grain Range” or “FloraFresh Plant Collection” to cover a full range of offerings.
• Logos and Visuals – Trademark visual identifiers like leaf-based logos or animal silhouettes associated with your packaging.
• Taglines and Slogans – Protect marketing lines like “From Soil to Shelf” or “Naturally Better” that are unique to your brand’s messaging.

Registering these elements ensures that your agri-business identity is legally protected and recognisable across wholesale, retail, and export channels.
